Can XP Pro be installed on a SATA drive?

I got a 320 gig SATA WD Caviar drive to install XP Pro on a Core2 Duo
machine. I get as far as the last stage or so of the install and got a
blue screen "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut
down to prevent damage to your computer" If this is the first time
you've seen this yada yada yada - then Stop 0x00000024 (0x001902FA,
0xF76A6300, 0xF76A6000, 0x805380B2)

I saw a mention somewhere that XP doesn't support SATA. Not sure how
that can be if I've been running this machine with auxilliary SATA
drives installed on it. Why would it let me get this far in the
installation process? Of course I don't know for sure what the root
cause of the problem was to begin with. I decided to try a different
drive since I seened to have ongoing issues ever since installing that
other IDE drive and the drive was on sale under $50 for 320 gigs.

Thanks for all input
